IMPROVEMENT lN COMPOUNDS FOR FILLING THE PORES OF WOOD.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 221,308, dated November4, 1879; application filed April 28, 1879.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS G. HOJER, of the city of New York, county andState of New York, have invented a new and useful Compound for Fillingup the Pores in Wood, which compound is fully described in the followingspecification.

' This inventionrelates to that class of compounds used to fill thepores in wood; and it consists in a composition formed by mixingtogether barytes, whiting, calcined plaster,

raw linseed-oil, and a liquid manganese drier,

pounds of raw linseedoil, and'seven pounds of liquid manganese driercomposed of the ingredients hereinbefore named. Mix these ingredientsall together and grind the composition through a stone mill. It is thenmade ready for use by thinning with spirits of turpentine or rawlinseed-oil, or half oil and half turpentine, or as the nature of thework requires. lt is applied with a bristle brush, and when it becomesflat or its luster disappears, it should be rubbed with cotton clothfrom the surface of the wood, and into the pores of the wood.

Its use and purpose are to fill up the pores in allkinds of wood, andthereby produce a solid and smooth surface upon which varnish or oil canbe applied, and not be absorbed by the pores.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is A compound forfilling the pores of wood, consisting of barytes, Whiting, calcinedplaster, raw linseed-oil, and liquid manganese drier, in the proportionssubstantially as specified.
